According to the teachings in Chapter 49, what qualities define a true devotee, and what characteristics disqualify someone from that title?

Chapter 49 clearly outlines the qualities of a genuine devotee. It states that true "Devotee-hood" belongs to one who is "completely devoid of ego." Conversely, a person who has "complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" The text also criticizes those with an "arrogance of knowledge and the pride of superiority," labeling them as abodes of hypocrisy. Furthermore, the chapter suggests that those who do not sing the fame of their Guru with love are considered dull-witted. Thus, true devotion is characterized by humility and the absence of ego.
